Description
Summary:English phonetic learning, as the beginning of learning a foreign language, is of great importance in EFL learning. However, the present Chinese EFL learners’ phonetic learning is not satisfactory. Based on theories of aesthetic linguistics, this paper analyzes the aesthetic attributes of English pronunciation and intonation, including the beauty of sonority, rhyme, rhythm, intonation, and succession. And then pedagogical implications are proposed about how to raise EFL learners’ aesthetic consciousness and creation of English pronunciation.
